so much to do.
I am still happier than I've ever been. I can't believe that thee most amazing woman I've ever met has agreed to marry me. I can't wait!
Ok, so for the medical stuff... Blood pressure has much improved, due to medication, and weight loss. I was 210 a week before Easter, At that time my BP was 165 over 115. Today, I reached my goal of 185, and BP is 125 over 85. I took the sleep study last Sunday, and got results yesterday. I have sleep apnea, bad. I stop breathing an average of 13 times per hour, for 3-5 seconds each. This is not good, it causes my blood oxygen saturation to drop below 80%. Again, not good. Should be 95%. I get my CPAP machine monday. All my Doctors & friends with the machine say that life will improve dramatically. I wonder what its like not to have my legs sore everyday, all the time. I wonder if I'll seem smarter, since I haven't been able to focus in years. But mostly, I wonder how close I was to just not waking up. The Doc estimates this has been 5-8 years, and undetected, it can be fatal. Wendy has saved my life in many, many ways! I am seeing a surgeon next week to discuss some minor surgery in June.
Wendy & I have still made no plans yet, though we are considering having a very small wedding, just immediate family, in a couple months. But, that could change. I've had the big no-holds barred wedding, and really think its dumb to spend 20-30K for a couple hours, and I really want the focus to be on the marriage, not the wedding. Oh, and if i haven't said so lately, I have never felt such an amazing love ever. I never believed there was one person designed especially for someone, I always thought you just chose the best you could. Wendy changed all of that. Last year, I'd have told you I'd been in love a couple times. I know now that I never have experienced anything anywhere close to this.
